About this ebook
From the bestselling author of Writing Down Your Soul comes a new book based on the teachings of Jesus and Buddha about how to create an abundant life by focusing your attention on your connection with the vibrant presence of the divine within. The Lotus and the Lily offers a new 30-day program for accessing your true creativity, breakthrough thinking, and divine guidance. Janet Conner continues her unique method of deep soul writing by showing readers how to exit their conscious minds, get in touch with their authentic selves, and activate the voice of wisdom within.
The Lotus and the Lily reveals:
- The cosmic power of the intention mandala to reveal the life you want
- Soul Slinky waves of intention and gratitude
- Awaken your inner shaman
- Discover the power of naming your past and your future
- How to experience the generative power of your own voice.
For those seeking the riches that lie beyond the popular explanation of the Law of Attraction, The Lotus and the Lily cracks the abundance code by linking the wisdom of the inner voice with the surprising parallel teachings of Buddha and Jesus. In a profound yet simple program, Conner sheds radical new light on the "Great Paradox of Prosperity" and redirects readers from asking for things to creating the receptive conditions that nourish a bountiful life.
Feeding the spiritual hunger for transformative living, Janet Conner teaches us how to hear the spiritual masters with fresh ears, explore the deep intelligence of our own soul, create brand new prosperity practices, and integrate those practices into our daily lives.

Reviews for The Lotus and the Lily
6 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Janet Conner’s Writing Down Your Soul is the best-written spiritual writing guide that I’ve come across. Her latest book, The Lotus and the Lily, published last month, is a perfect follow-up. By focusing on the teachings of Buddha and Jesus, Conner offers a complete life makeover in 30 days. She calls it a 30-Day Soul Program. So how exactly does Buddha meet Jesus? How does the lotus relate to the lily? The lotus flower, a symbol of the teachings of Buddha, represents his poetic phrase, “When conditions are sufficient there is a manifestation.” The lily, a symbol of Christianity, represents Jesus’s belief that life will always be aligned if one seeks divine guidance. He once said, “When we pursue a right relationship with the Universal One, and allow this relationship to realign our lives, we product a condition of receptivity in which anything we need to help us complete our purpose in life will be supplied by the universe.” So how do these two concepts connect? To get the right conditions, Conner encourages her readers to activate their own innate spiritual intelligence. The four-week program begins with what she calls preparing in the first week, then looking back at our past in the second, releasing what she calls “thought worms.” These are old negative thoughts implanted since birth. In week three, we release the old to make room for the new, and along the way, forgive those who have wronged us. We also learn to forgive ourselves. In the final week, readers look forward, identifying their purpose. The book culminates in creating an intention mandala to represent the vision of your ideal life. A mandala itself is a symbol widely seen in Buddhism and meditation, a spiritual teaching tool. Conner asks her readers to physically make one.A life makeover is a popular and ubiquitous subject for many spiritual authors, but Conner manages to keep her pages continually stimulating and original by combining the ideas of two very different faiths. She encourages readers to move away from asking for things to creating the conditions that nourish a fulfilling life. There is also a focus on the divine, rather than desires, wants and needs. Ultimately, I found that Conner’s voice makes her pages compelling. She is candid, raw, learned, and highly engaging. You never tire of her voice. Her frankness on the page is endearing and she leaves us with a plethora of insights, and a blueprint for a whole new life.
